What is a Valeo (va-LAY-oh) Memory Care neighborhood?

Derived from the Latin word meaning “to thrive,” Valeo refers to our memory-care-specific programs created for residents with memory impairments like Alzheimer’s. As the foundational holistic wellness philosophy that guides the team at The Preserve, every Valeo program is personalized, taking into account their unique abilities, strengths, and needs. The Valeo wellness philosophy engages residents and encourages them to improve their well-being through four pillar focus areas:

physical

Use nutritious food, exercise and active pursuits to improve physical wellness.

Social

Fuel existing relationships and create new ones with both people and pets in the community.

Intellectual

Fire up the brain with creative activities that engage the mind, helping residents recapture memories and preserve cognition.

spiritual

Connect with one’s personal beliefs and honor their traditions.

The goal of the Valeo philosophy is to provide daily stimulation and give every resident personalized opportunities for one-on-one engagement. We help people build relationships and pursue their interests in an empowering environment that emphasizes dignity and values residents as multifaceted individuals.

When Is It The Right Time For Memory Care?

A memory care community serves as supportive care for people with dementia or other major cognitive changes. Often, memory care is part of a transition from an assisted living community or skilled nursing care. 

Knowing when it is the right time to move to memory care can feel like a big responsibility; we know it’s not a decision you take lightly. The decision can also be confusing because you know people with milder memory changes may be able to live independently or in a community with a lower level of care. 

Here are some signs that it is time for your family member to transition to a memory care community:

  • Personality changes.
  • Confusion.
  • Incontinence or feeding difficulty.
  • Safety concerns.

At our Valeo memory care neighborhood in Dunedin, Florida, we can help you decide when the time is right for memory care support. Our team of professionals knows each family’s experiences are unique, and they have helped many families navigate these transitions.

How Should I Talk to Family About Memory Care?

At The Preserve at Dunedin, we understand that the transition to memory care can be a challenging journey for both individuals and their families. It’s often best to let the conversation unfold gradually, allowing your loved one time to adjust to the idea. Start by sharing your concerns about their safety and well-being in a gentle, supportive way. It’s common for people with memory challenges to feel attached to their familiar routines, so it’s natural if they’re hesitant about moving. Involving them in certain aspects of the decision-making process can help preserve their sense of autonomy and dignity.

Above all, it’s important to convey that this choice comes from a place of love and care, as many older adults worry about becoming a burden on their families. At The Preserve, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

How Much Does Memory Care Cost?

 At The Preserve, we value pricing transparency as much as we value comprehensive support to residents. Many families worry about how to afford memory care, and we want to ease your worries through up-front discussion of costs, as well as personalized wellness plans that are specific to your family’s needs.  With that in mind, the cost of living at our Valeo memory care neighborhood starts at $6,890 per month.

Ways to Pay for Memory Care in Dunedin, Florida

At The Preserve at Dunedin near Clearwater, FL, we understand that planning for memory care involves careful consideration of financial options. How to cover memory care costs often depends on your loved one’s unique financial situation.

One possible solution is long-term care insurance, which is typically purchased before care is needed. Many long-term care insurance policies cover memory care services, but details vary based on policy type. If your relative has this insurance, it’s best to connect with their provider to clarify daily benefit levels, coverage duration, and any maximum lifetime limits. Often, families use a combination of options to meet memory care expenses.

If you have questions about payment options for memory care, please reach out to us at The Preserve. Our knowledgeable senior living experts are here to discuss your options and help you develop a plan that works for your family’s needs.
